Your personal projects keep stacking up because you never have the time or mental bandwidth to start or finish them.
Chores, errands, and small fixes pile into a backlog that feels embarrassing and exhausting.
You want meaningful time with family and friends, but evenings and weekends disappear into catch-up mode.
The house might look fine on the surface, but behind every closet and cabinet door is a small crisis waiting its turn.
You spend way too much on unhealthy take-out because you forgot to take the roast out of the freezer or simply don’t have the energy to rush to the soccer game, help with homework, catch up the laundry, and figure out what to cook too.
You know life would feel lighter if everything were organized and running smoothly, but you can’t get ahead long enough to make that happen.

These days we’re all working harder than ever while dealing with increasing uncertainty and enormous levels of energy-sapping stress. After making things work at the office, are you having a hard time pouring the same drive into connecting with family and friends, keeping up with house chores, and accomplishing your personal goals?
You’re not alone, but we can help.

We handle the planning and coordination behind your projects so your evenings and weekends become yours again.

We design streamlined household systems using refined project management methods and discreet technology.

Mama Zio’s founder Katherine Chalmers lived this challenge. She spent twenty-five years in demanding tech leadership roles while raising two kids and keeping a busy household (mostly) together. Using her MBA training, project management experience, talent for designing automations, and tech-savvy love of software, electronic gadgets, and artificial intelligence, she found cool new ways to streamline the second shift overload.
She’s a lifelong learner of ways productivity, lifestyle design, repairs & maintenance, household management, and organization. From David Allen’s Getting Things Done and Ali Abdala's productivity channel on YouTube to Mrs. Beaton's Book of Household Management, Martha Stewart’s Home-keeping Handbook, and Letitia Baldridge’s books on executive manners and everyday etiquette books, Katherine’s voracious learning habit has built a broad breadth of knowledge, techniques, and fresh ideas for lifestyle design.
Today, she and her team bring that expertise to you, helping busy professionals automate routines, tame the second shift, and create a home life that supports rather than drains them.



You’re not exhausted because you’re disorganized. You’re exhausted because you’ve been carrying two jobs: the one that pays you and the one that waits for you at home. We understand what it feels like to walk in the door already running on empty, knowing there is still a mountain of invisible work ahead of you. You want a home that feels calm, routines that feel manageable, and time to build memorable experiences with the people you love. You’re doing your best. But let’s be real: the load is simply too big for one person to carry the traditional way in today’s overworked, overstimulated world.
